Your ideas and the range of acceptable to stupid shit you like are simply information, data, that can be countered with more data and more information. Being aware and open of information and weighing it can change your position or work in a way to strengthen it.

Shutting out people entirely on kneejerk decisions opens you up to be shut out entirely as well.

Saying people are complicit in physical, harmful acts because they are capable of reading, hearing and discussing ideas people use as an excuse to commit atrocities is as absurd as any "devil made me do it", "I'm a victim of the patriarchy" or "I cannot change my stars" superstitious hufflepuff.

This world is fascinating, and amazing in the way it's turned out through the instruments of mankind's creation.

The easy XMPP initiative tries to identify all the small UX glitches and fix them. That's a great first step in the right direction. For user discovery I would love to see mobile clients to check my address book, auto add contacts with a XMPP address and automatically check contacts email addresses for XMPP capabilities. This would be a easy, privacy respecting way to auto-populate the contact list. https://xmpp.org/2017/08/easy-xmpp-the-challenges/about a day agofrom io.schiessle.orgpermalink

@dolus @thatbrickster @nepfag @hakui @lain @dt 1. not enough people that will do this 2. more people would side with content provider companies just because they want their vids, but ALSO because they agree with the censorship 3. Google alone is big enough to deal individually with every ISP to avoid this. They don't want net neutrality but they can live in a world with it.

This is the part where normally I masturbate about decentralized services, but the reality is that that is not what we have today and doesn't realistically compete. parallel services for the entire Internet stack are needed. I made fun of Counter Fund (whatever else you may think of them) for talking about starting their own registrar, but I think it's necessary. (We can't use theirs because nothing alt-right is truly free speech it is "pro-their-speech" and thus not safe for a lot of content.) In that sense while I don't think sites like Gab solve anything long-term, if they didn't suck they would be creating parallel spaces at least.about 12 hours agofrom shitposter.clubpermalink
